Professor Cath Senior, Co-Director of the UKNCSP, and a climate scientist at the Met Office, says: “I am delighted to welcome Professor Meredith to UKNCSP, and together I believe we can build on the good progress already made

that those in Cambridge and Oxford would avoid the use of slang, each similarly favoured the term ‘chucking it’ to describe heavy rain (83% and 57%). Glaswegians are most likely to use the term ‘pelting it’ and Londoners prefer to say ‘caning it’. Despite being almost 90 miles apart, the people

at 17 to 18 °C across these areas with a 12-hour minimum of 19.6 °C at London St James's Park - exceptionally mild for the time of year. Numerous stations set October minimum temperature records, for example at Cambridge Botanic Garden and Hastings (East Sussex) in 80+ year record lengths.
